Smith Alumnae Book Club

The Book Club provides a friendly, open and inquiring setting for discussing various works of literature (both classic and contemporary). Meetings take place at 7:30 pm, generally on the third Wednesday of each month, at the homes of members. Any Smith alum is welcome, and you don’t have to “join”—just attend as often or as rarely as the meetings fit your interests and schedule. If you are interested in attending our meetings, please contact the Book Club Coordinator, Sally Smith, via email at thepeninsulasmithclub@gmail.com and she will add you to the email list.

Each month Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park carries our book selections in the Peninsula Smith Club section of their book club shelf. At the cash register, tell the clerk this is a Peninsula Smith Club purchase and you will receive a 15% discount.

Movie Night was, again, a great success. We gathered at the home of Laurie Daniels '81 in San Mateo for our Fourth Annual Book Club Movie Night: a potluck followed by the movie "The Lion in Winter." The movie is based on a play by James Goldman. The food theme to accompany this film was medieval. Many thanks to Laurie Daniels for hosting us in such fine style.

For November, we have chosen to read “Little Fires Everywhere” by Celeste Ng. Please be thinking about a classic to read for January. Suggestions are welcome.
